Self-injury Myths

Wedge from LifeSIGNS

Drowning, not waving. Everyone needs and deserves attention, and it’s bizarre that some people see ‘attention seeking’ as a reason to ignore a person and their distress!

Self-injury is not ‘attention seeking’ but can indicate a ‘need for attention’.

In this lighter talk, we’ll cover the many myths around self-injury (considering age, gender, purpose, mental illness, addiction, pain, and suicide).

It will highlight the findings from the joint NSPCC research project ‘From Bumps to Babies’, and showcase the landscape of perinatal mental health care in Wales.
